Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) open up the unique perspective of manufacturing cell products for drug development and regenerative medicine in tissue-, disease- patient-specific forms. iPSC can be multiplied almost without restriction differentiated into types all organs. The basis clinical use is a high number (approximately 7 × 107 per treatment), which must produced cost-effectively w...

As mobile communication becomes more pervasive, there is an increasing need to study the potential uses of wireless organizational communication. The difficulty in analyzing information and communication technology (ICT) in organizational communication is the unintentional split between information processes perspectives and human communication perspectives in the discussions of workplace techn...

Healthcare workers are reporting instances of psychological stress induced by healthcare information technology. IS researchers have established a valuable research program on which to study psychological technostress in healthcare workers. This research stream considers technostress a "dark side" of technology associated with negative perceptions and harmful effects. However, extant literature...

Today’s burgeoning software profoundly sells hardware; and is crucially definable between Free Livre/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) and Proprietary Close Source Software (PCSS). Therefore, this paper argues how and why Turkey has locked-in PCSS, and particularly investigates outcomes and reasons for not using FLOSS in Turkey’s state apparatus in order to demonstrate techno-politics of Turke...

The paper assesses the market conditions and dynamics, the architectures and the different approaches for deployment of 3G Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs), in an attempt to address specific advantages and pitfalls. Following the definition of appropriate service sets and tariff structures, and taking into account demand scenarios, a techno-economic model has been developed, in order to...

Plant-based proteins have recently attracted particular interest owing to their sustainable origins, economical costs and health benefits compared animal-based counterparts. However, most of them limited applications due inferior functionality, which is the consequence poor-aqueous solubility, complexity sensitivity environmental stress conditions such as pH, salt temperature. Additionally, pla...

BACKGROUND Alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) is one of the technical feasible biofuel technologies. It produces jet fuel from sugary, starchy, and lignocellulosic biomass, such as sugarcane, corn grain, and switchgrass, via fermentation of sugars to ethanol or other alcohols. This study assesses the ATJ biofuel production pathway for these three biomass feedstocks, and advances existing techno-economic anal...
